Born in 1930, Marion Walter Jacobs (Little Walter), was a groundbreaking American blues harmonica player known for his revolutionary contributions to the instrument.

He introduced innovative techniques, including cupping a microphone with his harmonica to amplify its sound, which reshaped blues music.

Little Walter's influence on harmonica playing remains unparalleled, earning him comparisons to iconic musicians like Django Reinhardt and Jimi Hendrix.

He was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008] the first and, to date, only artist to be inducted specifically as a harmonica player.

His career began in 1947, and after joining Muddy Waters' band in 1948, he became the harmonica player on Waters' classic recordings.

In 1952, he achieved a breakthrough with his hit "Juke," the first harmonica instrumental to top the Billboard R&B chart. Throughout the 1950s, he had numerous chart-topping hits

In 1957, he recorded “Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)”, another top ten hit which featured such stars as Willie Dixon on bass, Luther Tucker and Robert Lockwood Jr. on electric guitars and Fred Below on drums.

Apart from Little Walter’s strong vocal and harp playing, the song showcases guitar playing which ventures into chords that are typically heard in jazz but definitely not in blues.

In that more misogynistic era, the lyrics of the song didn’t raise many eyebrows but they wouldn’t pass so easily today.
